Socket Preservation Utilizing Modified Free Connective Tissue Graft for Primary Closure : Wing Graft

The socket preservation technique is very effective in preventing alveolar ridge collapse after tooth extraction. Many technigues have been proposed for the primary closure of the flap and we tested a new graft design, "wing graft", which is a modification of free connective tissue graft in this case report. With this technique, primary closure was achieved without shallowing the vestibule. Additionally some vertical ridge augmentation effect could be observed and therefore good esthetic and functional results were obtained from this technique even in the case where severe bone loss and gingival recession was present. Finally we observed good healing appearance in the donor site after 2weeks. The results from this report suggest that this "wing graft" can be used successfully as an adjunctive procedure with socket preservation technique.
